We want to say a special thanks to everyone that entered the KIWI Outdoor Survival Kit Photo Contest. We had a good number of entries and our selection of the 4 finalists was difficult because all of the pictures sent in were good in their own respect. Ashley and I have selected the 4 finalists, which are posted below. Take a look at the 4 finalists and vote on the right hand side of our blog for your favorite picture. Please Only One Vote Per Person (Obviously this is an honor system). The order of the pictures on the post was done using a random number draw out of a hat. The winner will be the picture with the most votes at the end of the contest. The voting ends December 10 at 11:59pm. Good luck to our 4 finalists!!

Welcome to Brian and Ashley's Hiking Blog! We are a website about Hiking in Orange County, Southern California, and beyond featuring detailed trail write-ups, trail maps, and advice on hikes throughout the United States.

NOTE: We attempt to provide our best description oftrail conditionsand what to expect when you hike on a given trail. As always, our write-ups reflect the view of what the trail conditions were at the time we hiked it. Make sure to always be prepared for any hike that you undertake in a wilderness or urban wilderness setting, by bringing enough water, food, having proper clothing, gear, shoes, a map, as well as telling someone where you are going and when to expect you back. Also, many of our hikes go through areas where mountain lions, bears, or rattlesnakes can be found. Additionally, always be prepared for weather conditions during the time of year you go hiking.
